My annoying eyes!!!!!

my vision sometimes goes double. It’s mostly when I’m reading up close- if I look at something far away it doesn’t happen. I can ‘make’ myself do it- if I look at something too hard/in a certain way(im not exactly sure how) I can easily make it split into 2. And I can focus and look at the fake/double image. But sometimes it happens accidentally, like if I’m reading and haven’t actually made it go double but my vision goes double anyway. My eyes are fine/no squint and I don’t need glasses and I know everyone can probably induce double vision on themselves, but I just wondered if anyone knew anything more about this and how to stop it happening accidentally. It’s getting annoying now- it doesn’t happen all the time but it’s very frequent where i’ll look at something up close or I’ll read something and my eyes slip into double vision. Thank you in advance Smile

Any other symptoms OP? Any numbness or pins & needles? Sight test up to date?

No I’m absolutely fine apart from this! Sometimes get headaches behind my right eye especially when looking at the computer/reading for too long but they always go away overnight. Yeah I got an eye test really recently and it was absolutely fine Smile this has happened for as long as I remember (at least 10yrs+) and it’s only recently I’ve found it’s more annoying, probably because I’m reading more/spending more time on the computer in lockdown. Thanks for replying x

You could well have convergence insufficiency , that is the most common reason for double vision for near if so it can be treated with exercises
